So, i took my first fleet out and like my first attemp to teach there is a small universe of thingsto improve. So I will narrow it down to my main aspects.

Fitting and Form up

Deploying tailor-made ships with the right ewar in the mid-slots was abest-intentions-most-horrible-thing-to-do. It took me aprox one hour to only give the ships out?I'm not 100% sure, same thing happend as in the class: I wanted too much, got captured in a %§"%$§$details, stress level went through the roof.

-> Never again. Next time I just announce fittings.

The F-up led to a hurried dock up, so i couldn't talk about my ideas to engagements and practice somethings like anchoring and spreading ewar.

Finally in space

So we started with with a desorientated fc, a splintered fleet, and pilots with no idea of how to dotheir job. Nuff said on this.

Kills and Losses

FC loves: "Can i have invite plz? - posting lossmail from arse end of nowhere"

A bunch of guys who went to action for their own sanity, while i tried to killmy fleetlings by boredom, got a hecate.

The following engagement is the one thing that went positive. Intel reported a destroyergang of same size in Vli. They were sitting in a medium plex, what was especially NOT theway i wanted to start engagements. I led the fleet in a small, called for anchoring on meand waited a bit. And this is something what worked exactly like i planned it.What did not work: being fleet anchor, target caller and ewar commander. I'll split thisnext time.As an extra i was the only one who died in this engagement, which honestly broke my moral.

✔ Hydra Kestrels are definitly interesting and challenging to learn✔ The first fleet fight was something i wanted exactly in this way, with a little more practice we win the grid✘ The main issue was my plan to give out customized ships. If i am less stressed, everything is better.

While there were periods of quietness while you did some thinking, I don’t think they were moments of indecisiveness. I think you made the right calls every time (I hadn’t clocked that the Raven was bait either!). You had a plan, stayed with that plan, and actually looked for real fleet fights on your first ever fleet as FC.

Good fleet, good FC, would definitely fly again. Let me know if there is anything I could do to help out with the next one, or if there are any specific roles you’d like covered.
